NOC unveils Olympafrica Centre, begins Olympic Estate project

The Nigerian Olympic Committee (NOC) is set to redefine the landscape of Nigerian sports with the official inauguration of the Olympafrica Centre and the groundbreaking ceremony of the highly anticipated Olympic Resident Estate Project.

​For years, the Olympafrica Centre has served as a quiet engine for athletic development; now, it takes centre stage.

This event marks a strategic evolution for the NOC, merging functional athletic facilities with an innovative residential concept that fosters a sustainable sporting ecosystem.

The centrepiece of this development is the Olympic Estate, a novel residential project integrated directly into the NOC grounds.

This “Live-Train-Play” model reflects a growing global trend in sports infrastructure, ensuring elite facilities and modern living spaces coexist to support the next generation of Nigerian champions.

​A key landmark is its proximity to the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Church HQ on the Oshodi-Mile 2 Expressway.

​The existing facilities are a standard football pitch, athletics tracks, volleyball and basketball courts, and a multi-purpose indoor sports hall.

​This event is set for Wednesday, April 29, 2026.
